The strong corporate culture has always been an integral part of SAS. It combines the curiosity with which we started out with the spirit of innovation that continues to drive us forward. At SAS, everyone is encouraged and challenged according to their individual requirements - because satisfied employees are the basis of a successful company. Trust, respect and the courage to drive change are fundamental values of our actions.
Curious. Passionate. Authentic. Accountable.
These values influence everything we do - from the software we develop to the conversations we have. Analytics and engagement are building blocks for innovations that can make the world a better place. We encourage curiosity through formats such as hackathons and extraordinary projects - not least in the social sphere or for environmental protection. We support uniqueness through diversity: at SAS, more than 40 % of management positions are held by women. As a company, we take our responsibility towards society and the environment seriously. And we work with partners and customers to drive economic, social and environmental improvements.
"Because we eliminate unnecessary distractions and help relieve everyday stress, our employees are happier, healthier and proud of the difference their work makes."
-Jim Goodnight, CEO, SAS
